Step 1: Determine the UTF-8 encoding bit layout
The character ᠼ has the Unicode code point U+183C. In UTF-8, it is encoded using 3 bytes because its codepoint is in the range of
0x0800to0xffff.
Therefore we know that the UTF-8 encoding will be done over 16 bits within the final 24 bits and that it will have the format:1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx
Where thexare the payload bits.UTF-8 Encoding bit layout by codepoint range Codepoint Range Bytes Bit pattern Payload length U+0000 - U+007F 1 0xxxxxxx 7 bits U+0080 - U+07FF 2 110xxxxx 10xxxxxx 11 bits U+0800 - U+FFFF 3 1110xxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 16 bits U+10000 - U+10FFFF 4 11110xxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 10xxxxxx 21 bits Step 2: Obtain the payload bits:
Convert the hexadecimal code point U+183C to binary:
00011000 00111100. Those are the payload bits.Step 3: Fill in the bits to match the bit pattern:
Obtain the final bytes by arranging the paylod bits to match the bit layout:
11100001 10100000 10111100

Description
The Unicode character U+183C represents the Mongolian Letter Tsagad (MONGOLIAN LETTER TSA). This character plays a vital role in the written script of the Mongolian language, which is spoken by millions of people across Mongolia and among Mongolian diaspora communities. In digital text, U+183C is used to accurately transcribe and display Mongolian texts without distortion or misinterpretation. The Tsagad letter has a unique position in the Mongolian script, as it represents the consonant /t/ sound when followed by a vowel. Its usage contributes significantly to the rich linguistic heritage of Mongolia, which is deeply rooted in the ancient Turkic and Sino-Tibetan language families. As more people access and engage with digital content in different languages, understanding the importance and function of characters like U+183C becomes increasingly crucial for accurate cultural representation and preservation.
